Clown Fish question

My clown sleeps in a lot of weird places. This morning when I went down to look at my tank, one of my clowns was laying on the bottom corner in the sand. I put something in there and and he moved around to the back, he swam normal but did really move higher in the tank. Could it be I just scared him, and went to hide? When I first got both of my Clarke clowns I thought the next morning they were both dead. Because they were both laying on the bottom sleeping, but I haven't seen them do that since and it's going on a year next month.

Anyone else have a clown that sleeps on the bottom, or do you think something is wrong with him?
 
My ocellaris likes to wedge himself between the heads of a candy cane coral. Can't say that I've seen him sleep on the bottom, although he has stayed in a patch of GSP's that were on the bottom before.
 
One of my clowns likes to sleep in the top left back corner of my NC, which is also where the filter intake happens to be. Sometimes I swear that thing is dead.
 
Mine hangs out at the top over by the nano cube output. She rarely moves around the tank at all but is getting better. Seems healthy and happy. She certainly eats too.
 
Both of my clowns lie in the bottom corner of the tank at night. They sleep right next to each other wedged into the corner lying in the sand.
 
My other clown will host in anything.. I have seen it playing in my Mushrooms, anemone, and my clam. At first the clam wouldn't open up all the way, now the clam doesn't seem to mind, and he plays in it all the time.

That is good to know.. She usually sleeps right by my Orange Flower anemone, if not inside it. So that is why it worried me.
 
Clowns act goofy at times my black clown will swim into the glass I use to dose the tank with.I quess that why their called clowns.
 
when my clown sleeps, it looks like he is tubling around the tank in the current. hitting rocks, corals, and other fish. upside down, left, right, up, all around not moving any fins.

i swear that he is retarted... i can pick him up with my hand
